Burgh Island is a tidal island on the coast of South Devon in England near the small seaside village of Bigbury-on-Sea. There are the largest being the Art Deco Burgh Island Hotel; the other buildings are three private houses, a public house, the Pilchard Inn, taken over by new owners in 2019. Archaeological discovery of tin ingots at the River Erme estuary wreck show that the local area was a significant tin trading port in ancient times; those who dwell near Belerium, one of the headlands of Britain, are fond of strangers, on account of their trade with the merchants they have a more civilized manner of living. They collect the tin. Although the land is stony, it has certain veins of earth from which they melt and purify the metal, extracted. After making this into bars they carry it to a certain island near Britain called Ictis. For although the place between is for the most part covered with water, yet in the middle there is dry ground, over this they carry a great amount of tin in wagons Thence the merchants carry into Gaul the tin which they have bought from the inhabitants.

And after a journey of thirty days on foot through Gaul, they convey their packs carried by horses to the mouths of the Rhone River. The island has been known by various names over the years. Early records and maps mention it as St Michael's Island; the name changed to Borough Island shortened to Burgh. As late as 1947 an Ordnance Survey map refers to the island as Borough Island. In 1908 a postcard produced by Stengel & Co Ltd of London referred to it as Burr Island. A map published in 1765 shows "Borough or Bur Isle", it is believed a monastery was established on the island, most of the remains of which may lie beneath the current hotel. The ancient Pilchard Inn may have started life as the guest lodgings for the monastery. A small transient, population of fishermen occupied the island following the dissolution of the monastery, specialising in pilchard fishing. There are the remains of a chapel atop the island, which became a "huers hut" — a place where fishermen would make a "hue and cry" call to inform other fishermen of shoals of pilchards.

During this period smuggling and piracy were common, benefiting from a natural barrier for half the day. Fear that German landing forces might use the island as a beachhead during World War II resulted in the area's fortification with anti-tank defences and two pillboxes, positioned on both sides of the causeway. An observation post was established on the summit to monitor the coastline. Burgh Island is well-known today as the location of a restored 1930s Art Deco-style hotel. Burgh Island is linked to Agatha Christie, as it served as the inspirational setting for Soldier Island and for the setting of the Hercule Poirot mystery Evil Under the Sun; the hotel, with its Art Deco styling, was a bolt hole in the 1930s for some of London's rich and famous, including Noël Coward. The 2002 TV adaptation of Evil Under The Sun used the island as a filming location. In 1994 an episode of the television series Lovejoy was set and filmed on the island, entitled Somewhere - Over the Rainbow? The island was the location for GMTV's Inch-loss Island slimming feature in 2008, as it was for the original series in 2001.

The climactic scene of the 1965 British film Catch Us. The island is 270 yards from the mainland at Bigbury-on-Sea and is approachable on foot at low tide. At high tide, the sea tractor, operated by the hotel, transports passengers back and forth; the original vehicle was constructed in 1930. The vehicle drives across the beach with its wheels underwater on the sandy bottom while its driver and passengers sit on a platform high above. Power from a Fordson tractor engine is relayed to the wheels via hydraulic motors; the island has an extensive network of footpaths and the owner until 2003 was a keen hiker who welcomed walkers. The new owners, erected signs closing footpaths and obtained an exemption from the public "rights to roam" enabled in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000; the exemption was overturned, except for the routes closest to the hotel, in 2006. In April 2018, the owners of the island, Deborah Clark and Tony Orchard, announced that the island had been bought by "Project Archie", a joint venture between Bluehone Capital and Marechale Capital, for an undisclosed sum
